What did you buy today? (Part 1)

Buying 1K$+ earphones and the first track you play is one called “disappointed”.

Glad you aren’t :stuck_out_tongue:

Ordered a pair of the Sivga 006 from Aliexpress, because for some reason Amazon ran out. Been wanting a different pair of closed backs besides my DT770, and from what I heard of Zeos’ demo, I think I’ll like these quite a bit. Just hope it doesn’t take months for them to arrive.

This past week I sold my SP200 and my Loxjie P20. Then I ordered an Asgard 3 and a used Edition XX direct from Hifiman. Color me excited!

Looking up those headphones on Aliexpress I just wanted to point out how the check marks are red and the Xs are green. I found that a bit comical.

I ordered a pair of moondrop starfields as I want something portable that’s better than my airpods and I find that it may as well be convenient enough for me to have an iem I want to use still rather than just sticking to my headphone. Also, a question for any starfield owners, do you see any improvement with a better signal chain on them or does it not scale up well?

aw man, wish i had seen that deal. Does anyone knows how this compares with the tuba?

Pretty different, the crack + speedball is a fair bit more colored and going for a real fun signature, but it’s more picky about what sounds good on it (being otl)

Nice, curious to hear what you think about them :+1:

Well, someone posted the Andover Audio PM-50s. Since Andover Audio is apparently a “hometown hero”, I took the dive on them.

Review (pretty much singular lol)

Figured I might as well go lateral instead of straight up with the Anandas (cancelled the amazon order on them :’(, but saved $300 bucks so hey now I can buy the Erish when it pops :slight_smile: ). Very much so looking forward to the pm-50s

@gallappago I wouldn’t have seen these if not for the deals thread post. Thank you :slight_smile:

Pretty good. Controlled, deep low end. Lot’s of detail, and slightly bright. The pads are too small for my ears, so I actually changed them out last night for the ZMF Ori’s with the Dekoni rings and they’re so much more comfortable. It didn’t affect the sound very much either.

I’m going to try and wait till Monday to do the mod, but I’m pretty excited by what I’ve been hearing so I may end up doing it this weekend.

Haha! Soon, I promise. :+1:t4:

I wonder how they compare to the Ebony

Me too. I’m confident the Asgard will be great. The descriptions of the Edition XX on this forum and elsewhere made them sound like a decent starting point for me in the next tier up. Plus with selling old gear and cashing in Amazon points they’re basically an <$200 risk. I just couldn’t pass on that…

From what I’ve been told, the 610’s have a more neutral tuning while the Ebony’s are warmer. I think the Ebony’s are the preferred tuning because of their warm, fun sound.

I suppose the detail retrieval is the same on the TH610 as the Ebonies?

I haven’t heard the Ebony, but I imagine it would be on par. The 610’s are very detailed.
